Moselbrücke Bernkastel-Kues

The Moselbrücke stretches 147.2 meters across the Mosel River, connecting the districts of Bernkastel and Kues with a 12-meter-wide steel composite structure.

The current bridge, completed in 1995, represents the fourth structure at this location, with the first iron truss bridge constructed in 1874 as the first fixed crossing below Trier.

The bridge's four observation platforms provide views of the surrounding Mosel Valley, where centuries of wine cultivation have shaped the regional identity.

The bridge carries the L47 regional road and accommodates vehicle loads up to bridge class 60/30, serving as the primary connection for local traffic between both river banks.

During the 1933 renovation, engineers shifted the old superstructure aside while building the new steel construction on existing pillars, maintaining river traffic flow.
